Do you have a bio for Lindsley? It doesn't seem enough to just be a descendent of a president.
So, the article was recently moved to Hockaday School. I moved it back as the official name includes the article, and it seems to me that those associated with the school exclusively use "The Hockaday School" when not shortening all the way to "Hockaday". That combined with these google searches [1] [2], which show 56.5k uses of "The Hockaday School" and probably 19.7k uses of "Hockaday School" by itself, make using the article seem to fit Wikipedia:Naming conventions to me.
One test it fails is consistent capitalization of the article when used in a sentence, but I still feel like official name + never used without article by those in the know = use article in the title. But if people here agree it belongs at Hockaday School, I'll happily move it back. — Laura Scudder ☎ 20:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I predate the Academic Research Center, so, while I suspect that the common name is ARC rather than LLARC, I don't know that. I do know that unless things have drastically changed, the mascot is the Killer Daisy, and it seems pretty unique and noteworthy to me. I also rather think that the "reputation for feminism" is a positive thing, although hard to verify. So far as the laptops are concerned, they're already discussed in the academics section, and so don't really belong in the description of the Middle and Upper School building. I also don't know that this aritcle needs to serve as a vehicle for advertising Smartboard ™ technology, whatever that is.
I am, however, happy to discuss all of these points in the hopes of reaching some sort of compromise text. — Laura Scudder ☎ 18:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
This article seems to be an advertisement for The Hockaday School. At least once is the school referred to as 'our'. I hope some of the School owners aren't just writing out their website on this article.

So I've addressed all the {{ citation needed}}s. Is there anything else needed now or shall I pull the {{ refimprove}}? — Laura Scudder | talk 17:42, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Would really like to know about Hockaday's policies on admitting minorities. I have to assume it was a strictly segregated school and still is due to the fact that it's private and has always served the wealthy of Dallas. This article tells you NOTHING about the school's admitting policies AND whether there is any attempt at diversifying the school's population. Sorry folks, but to those of us who went to the Dallas public schools during integration, Hockaday was known as an exclusive boarding school for the Texan Tai-Pans who wanted their daughters to marry well. Not true? Then let's see it in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.145.197 ( talk) 07:56, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
On the school's website, it states,
"The Hockaday School admits qualified students of any race, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. The Hockaday School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law in the administration of its educational, admissions, financial aid, athletic, and other policies and programs."
You can also apply for financial aid, and I am very sorry to say that I do not agree with your statement. Thank you! Conceptual Psychology Definition ( talk) 15:58, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
So which part don't you agree with? That the school is for the ultra-wealthy female offspring of Texans who can foot the bill? That it's segregated based on the fact that hardly anyone, black, white, green or blue can afford to go there? Sorry but that 13% who get a free ride just isn't a large enough figure to indicate that the school has changed any since I lived in Dallas back in 1975. That you'd be simple enough to parrot what the school says on its website as proof that it's integrated and enlightened (LOL!) shows an astonishing lack of critical thinking. I'd say you don't agree with what I said b/c you went there and are simply defending your alma mater. That or you're affiliated w/ the school in some capacity. Either way missy, you know damn well which side your bread is buttered on. LOL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.93.160 ( talk) 07:10, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
